Ill be up there first week of april. Any advice on some pigs?

Sorry i didnt update. I went up there in sept and dworshak water temp was 80 degrees. Found alot fish suspended at the bridge pylings but wouldnt bite. I went back into the coves and found smaller fish. Fished CDA and didnt catch a fish. Went back into anderson lake and had a blow up on a frog and thats it. Went into Blue lake and flipped the weeds in the very northwest corner and got a bump. I spent 10 hrs on CDA and got skunked. Meet some good bass guys at both camp grounds while camping at both lakes Left there and went to boardman washington and had a blast catching 2-3.5 smallies all day long.

Are you fishing from boat or bank? Lake cascade has some awesome smallmouth and largemouth fishing. Jus east of those to is a really good largemouth lake that no one really fishes thats a trophy lake and has tons of 3-5 lbers in it. PM me and ill tell ya where.

I fished Dworshak yesterday and was brutal. Headed to CDA for a few hrs today.

You can hook up with me sometime out on the bass boat. I usually fish alone.

Not right now. Fish is around 50' deep. Get a small float tube with a trolling motor and fish the narrows. Good fishing there in summer time

Jus depends on how deep the river is. You want it within foot off the bottom so that the water ripples do the work jigging it. You may lose one or two jigs when you using trying and error to see you depth, but if you have a smooth bottom you will be fine. Just throw it out and if you drag bottom, bring it up inchs at a time. I hit CJ friday and saturday and didnt do very well. Water is still really cold and fish are deep (40-50') still

I went to CJ friday and saturday and water temps were 44. Cove arm was 38. I caught one bass both days and he was in 43ft of water. Alot of people struggled on both days. Ive graphed fish from 30 to 50 feet on the channel up the snake arm. Last week on the other hand when it was mid 60s, water temp was close to 50 and people were cranking them pretty good. Air temp this week suppose to be low 30s so it should push them and the water temp back down for a few more week.

Im from western Idaho and jus curious what temp do you guys start bringing out the topwater? Water temp here is 49 degrees on a reservior im fishing this week

I learned the float 'n' fly when i lived in Tennessee. I caught these in ontario using that rig with hair jigs. Cj and brownlee have their special colors to use. Mostly spider jigs and dropshot. CJ you should always have a flippin stick ready. Cascade i use alot of dropshot and flippin Swan Falls, you cant go wrong with a white 3/8 double willow spinnerbait and a white zu too. You cant keep them off of them all day action

Right on. Im in nampa and fish CJ Strike, Swan Falls, Brownlee and cascade quite a bit. I love the snake from ontario to nyssa as well. Some big ass smallies in those deep holes. I caught these (an 4 1/2 and 3 lbs) smallie mid december near ontario in one of my deep spots.

Anyone?

Im headed up to Dworshak this weekend and looking for someone who knows the lake well and if they do decent during the winter. Also might be hitting CDA lake few days after and would like to know some info there as well. Thanks
